Ingredients (Serves 4)
-
1 lb (450 g) ground beef
-
1 medium onion, finely chopped
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
8 oz (225 g) mushrooms, sliced
-
2 tbsp butter or olive oil
-
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
-
2 cups beef broth
-
1 tsp Dijon mustard
-
1/2 tsp paprika
-
Salt and black pepper, to taste
-
1 cup sour cream (full-fat for creaminess)
-
8 oz (225 g) egg noodles or pasta of choice
-
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
-
Cook the noodles
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
-
-
Brown the beef
-
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat.
-
Remove beef from skillet and set aside.
-
-
Sauté vegetables
-
In the same skillet, add butter or oil. Sauté onions until translucent (2–3 minutes).
-
Add garlic and mushrooms; cook until mushrooms release their moisture and start to brown, about 5–6 minutes.
-
-
Make the sauce
-
Sprinkle flour over the mushroom mixture and stir for 1 minute.
-
Slowly whisk in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and paprika.
-
Simmer until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
-
-
Combine beef and sauce
-
Return cooked ground beef to the skillet. Stir to coat with sauce. Reduce heat to low and gently fold in sour cream. Do not boil to prevent curdling.

Serve

Spoon over cooked noodles and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.

Use cremini mushrooms for a deeper, earthy flavor.

Add a splash of white wine before adding broth for extra richness.
